London After Midnight (1927) (lost)
Update: All links going to the Horror Drunx forum posts are broken. Horror Drunx, for reasons that are painfully obvious, took down their thread about Sid Terror “finding” the movie “London After Midnight”. I have a bunch of screencaps of the thread from before it was deleted at the bottom of my followup post here,…
Hollywood Hotel (1937)
Once again, I remind everyone that my entries contain spoilers! TCM will be airing “Hollywood Hotel” on July 2nd at 8:00 PM Eastern, and the film is also included in a new Busby Berkeley box set due out September 19th. Don’t read any further if you don’t want to be spoiled! “Hollywood Hotel” is a…
Jewel Robbery (1932)
“Jewel Robbery” is a delightful pre-code romance set in Vienna. Starring Kay Francis and William Powell, this film is shamefully unavailable in any format. However, TCM will be showing “Jewel Robbery” on September 4 at 8:15 PM Central. Actually, the entire month is Kay Francis month — the last time Kay was the featured star…
No More Ladies (1935)
If you’re looking for a film where both fashion designer Adrian and set decorator Cedric Gibbons have gone off their collective chums, “No More Ladies” is for you. This was during Joan Crawford’s fashion plate period, where every film showcased a glamorous new look or two. Or three. Maybe four. In “No More Ladies” she…
The Maltese Bippy (1969)
This post not only contains spoilers, but due to the subject matter of the film, may contain items you don’t want to read at work, at school, around kids, or for any reason at all, actually. You have been warned. “The Maltese Bippy” is a stupid film. It is offensive, vapid, incoherent, and the absolute…
Sh! The Octopus (1937)
Like most of my film entries, this post on “Sh! The Octopus” contains spoilers. Since this film has a twist ending, you may not want to read on unless you’ve already seen the film For the entire 54-minute run of this film, I kept asking myself, “Self, just why did you ever want to watch…

Happy Birthday, El
March 25th is the birthday of our favorite universally-hated comedian El Brendel, who was born in 1891. As a rather belated present to El — he died in 1964 — we at She Blogged By Night have created an “El Brendel” tag just for him. Click it to see all the posts that feature El.…
Out of the Past (1947)
“The night pleases us because it suppresses idle details, just as our memory does.” Jorge Luis Borge, Labyrinths “Unlike many of the frivolous noir semi-goddesses, Greer’s sexiness was derived from sheer cunning. She did not rely on the parodistic flirtations so common to the counterfeits of the genre — while entertaining actresses, they lacked…
